In future fusion devices as ITER and DEMO the power flux onto the divertor target plates will have to be reduced by deliberate seeding of impurities. In DEMO a major fraction of the induced radiative power losses must originate inside the last closed flux surface. As radiative power losses within the confined plasma might reduce the plasma confinement and impact the discharge stability it is crucial to determine and understand the underlying physical processes in high radiative discharges.
At JET neon seeded discharges were carried out and the influence of the seeding at high heating powers on the pedestal and the divertor profiles is examined. An inter-relation of these profiles with the radial radiation distribution is analyzed. Numerical simulations with the code package SOLPS-ITER (plasma fluid code B2.5 coupled with the Monte Carlo neutral code EIRENE) of these discharges are performed to complement the experimental findings.
